    Free Candy Tour // Episode 1 A Verification Situation in New Zealand

    • Series Page

    Every winter we fantasize about moving to New Zealand, so this year we did. Well, “move” in a very loose sense of the word—we bought a van and have been scouring the South Island for singletrack and sketchy situations.

    Now, finally “down undah,” we’re enjoying the simple life and riding our bikes a stupid amount in order to ready ourselves for race season. From Christchurch to Queenstown to Nelson, we’re headed where the trails, races and good times take us.
